Twitterati react to India's win in 500th Test, Manjrekar's commentary, and Rohit Sharma
Ravichandran Ashwin and Mohammed Shami wrapped up the New Zealand innings in the second session of Day 5 to hand India a comfortable 197-run win in the first Test at Kanpur. Fans took to Twitter to celebrate the win, troll Sanjay Manjrekar's commentary, and, of course, Rohit Sharma.
Sanjay Manjrekar and Ravi Shastri are like the Kardashians of commentary - entertaining, but not how they intended it to be.

Me: "Is this India's 500th Test?"

Siva: "Yes"
Gavaskar: [West Indian accent] "Yah man"
Shastri: "BCCI can neither confirm nor deny rumours"
Who needs Carl Sagan when you got Manjrekar in the commentary box. #IndvNZ

Rohit Sharma just cannot get a break, doesn't he. Fans troll the Mumbaikar again.

Sushant Singh trained himself so hard for the movie still team selectors chose Rohit Sharma over him, shame.

However, it was Sir Jadeja who was the man of the match - an award he should have won on the basis of this interview alone.
